Bristol City ground out a 2-0 win at Ashton Gate on Tuesday evening to see off bottom-of-the-table Bolton Wanderers and extend their unbeaten run to 10 games in all competitions.

And in attendance for the match was Steve Lansdown, the billionaire majority share holder, to run the rule over Lee Johnson's charges, currently just one place outside of the play-off positions.

The Bristol Post asked head coach Lee Johnson about whether there had been any words or encouragement from the Robins supremo, given the club's good start to the season and if he has been to many matches this season.

"He was in today at the training ground, which was good. We were presenting the way we work and it's good for Steve to see how his money is being invested. Not only in the hardware and the software but in the people.

"It was a good chance for the staff to meet Steve as well."

The Bristol Post - admittedly cheekily - asked if Lansdown was around more often than last season due to the good run the club is currently on. To Lansdown's credit, he's there through thick and thin.

"Nah, that's harsh. He's always been consistent, certainly while I've been here as a player and as a head coach.

"He's been very consistent in his attendance, and obviously he's very supportive, like we know, good guy, first and foremost, it's a nice working relationship and it's nice to deliver results like we are at the moment as it proves him right."
